Toilet training: And now for something completely grown up
continued from page 3
Little boys also need to learn to stand up for a ‘big boy pee’. Wait until your son is tall enough, with the help of a secure step if need be, to position his penis over the toilet. Your son will probably be at least three, and maybe four years old, before this is feasible. He also needs to focus on what he’s doing; keen conversationalists tend to wave it around.

Take your time with your child over the whole process and don’t expect too much; learning to be dry at night, for instance, is a later development for children than daytime control. The pattern is also very individual – see
Dry at night.
